This experimental research was conducted at the XI IPS 3, consists of 28 students, eleventh grade at SMAN 1 GondangNganjuk in academic year 2014/2015. The research data were collected using pre test and post test. The research results showed that the students’ score of pre test is 1576. The mean of students score of pre test is 56.28 and the students’ speaking ability after taught by using bamboo dancing technique is better more than before taught.

It can be said that the students’ score is increasing after they are taught by using bamboo dancing technique in teaching speaking. The t-score computation showed that the t-score is 19.196 at degree of freedom 27 and t-table is 2,771 at the level of significance 1% and 2,052 at the level of significance 5%. It means that t-score (19,196) > t-table at the level of significance 1% (2,771) and t-score (19,196) < t-table at the level of significant 5% (2,052). So the t-score is higher than t-table in significance 1% and 5%. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and null hypothesis is rejected. It can be concluded that teaching speaking using bamboo dancing technique has significant effect to the student’s speaking ability


Introduction
English has many functions, one of them as stated in the 2004 curriculum that English is means for the students to develop science, technology, culture and art, and the final objective of teaching and learning process is the students are expected to master the four skills of language: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.Teaching and learning will be success if they are supported by some factors such as the method that is used in teaching English, completeness of teaching facilitation, interesting media, and condition of school environment.

Research Result and Discussion
The students' score of pre test, the students' score of pre test is 1576.The mean of students score of pre test is 56,28 and the students' speaking ability after taught by using bamboo dancing technique is better more than before taught.
Because the students' score in post test is 2292 and the mean of students' score in post test is 81,85.It can be said that the students' score is increasing after they are taught by using bamboo dancing technique in teaching speaking.The data shows that t-score is higher than t-table in significance 1% and 5%.Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and null hypothesis is rejected.It can be concluded that teaching speaking using bamboo dancing technique has significant effect to the student's speaking ability of the eleventh grade students at SMAN 1 Gondang Nganjuk in academic year 2014/2015.

Conclusion and Suggestion
The result of data analysis showed that is significant effect of using bamboo dancing technique on the students' speaking ability of eleventh grade students at SMAN 1 Gondang Nganjuk.Resulting t-score is 19,196 and t-table 2,052 at level of 5% and 2,771 at the level of 1 %.So, it can conclude that t-score is higher that ttable.
Based on the result of the research, the researcher gives some suggestions.Some suggestion can be exposed by the researcher that should be developed by the teacher in teaching learning process, the teacher should be able to choose the suitable way to present the material, so that the students will be able to follow teaching learning process as well as possible.Especially in teaching speaking, it can be done by giving a technique like Bamboo Dancing Technique.
